IMPROVEMENT IN HORSE-POWERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 154,927, dated September 8, 1874; application liled December 23, 1873.

To all whom it may concern Beit known'that I, OLE 0. STORLE, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain Improve/ments in Horse-Powers, of which the vi'ollowin g is a specification:

The object of my invention is to even the running ofthe master-wheel of a horse-power by setting the center-pin so that it may move a little sidewise, and thus permit the masterwheel to adj ust itself in that direction, so that it shall work easy.

The drawings forming part of this specification show a sectional View of a horsepower across the center of the master-wheel.

A A are the wheels of the horse-power; B, the axle-tree; C, the master-wheel; D, the pillow-block or bearing under the center of the master-wheel lying on the axle-tree of the horse-power; and in this bearing or pillowblock is a hole for the center-pin, which passes up through the master-wheel. This hole is oblong sidewise, and just the width of the pin the other way, so that the pin may move a little sidewise, and the master-wheel with it. E, the center-pin, with a shoulder on it, standing on and passing through the bearing, and

l. A horse-power, with its master-wheel Q set on center-pin E, with slot in the pillowblock or bearing D, so that the wheel and pin can move sidewise in order to adjust the wheel without braking, substantially as described.
